What is FACES[edit]
Overview[edit]
FACES is a lifespan database of adult emotional facial stimuli. It contains a set of images of naturalistic faces of 171 persons, separated in three different age groups (young, middle-aged and old) displaying each of 6 facial expressions: neutrality, sadness, disgust, fear, anger, and happiness.
For more information, please visit the FACES database homepage.

What should FACES become[edit]
FACES should become an online open source solution, but with restricted access to the data because of the restricted usage rights for the photos.
Aim of the collaboration[edit]
Wesentlich wird es – neben der Einbindung in die eSciDoc-Architektur – darum gehen, die bisherigen "Attribute" auf der Ebene des einzelnen Bildes zu ergänzen um weitere, standardisierte Metadaten (ggf. METS) , und ein Rechtemanagement zu implementieren, d.h. differenzierte Zugriffsrechte zu ermöglichen. Dabei muss die Datenbank strukturell offen sein für die Aufnahme weiterer (Beschreibungs-) Daten – wie etwa von der Normierungsstudie zu erwarten (expressed by UF).
Requirements[edit]
Administration
- Adding of attributes to images, also from external data
Viewer
- Browse photo collection
- View photos and their attributes
- Select subset of photos according to their attributes
- Manually refine selection
- Export result set including attribute data
